Youth HQ Announces Grand Opening and Celebration at Camp Alexo

Jun 23, 2017 | 3:35 PM

Youth HQ, along with its affiliates of Boys and Girls Club of Red Deer and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Red Deer, are celebrating the completion of the Camp Alexo Master Plan. A Grand Opening of the Eagle’s Nest Rotary Lodge will be held at 2:00 pm, Saturday, June 24, 2017 at Camp Alexo, located 70 km west of Rocky Mountain House.

The public is welcome to join in this celebration.

Camp Alexo’s mandate is to make every effort for children and youth who want a summer camp experience to have one, regardless of financial barriers. For more than 32 years, more than 22,000 young people have benefited from a Camp Alexo experience.

The Camp Alexo Master Plan, a three-phase initiative, started in 2014. The total invested to date, through cash and in-kind contributions, is $2,125,000 of the $2,400,000 project. More than 1,000 caring volunteers invested 40,000 hours into this initiative. Completion of the Master Plan enables Camp Alexo to make a difference in the lives of children and youth for many years to come. This is made possible through the generous investment by many business supporters, organizations, community leaders, foundations and private donors.
